Annual. cs SS We linger in parting, but we must say “eood-bye , To friends wetre leaving, without a sigh. Our lives will go on, but not as before, As we part with friends at the old school door. We've had hard tasks, but also fun, . For we were the class of forty-one. So to our friends, we now say a fond farewell . No more will we hear the old school bell. We're parting at last, but it will always be, That we keep in our hearts, a pleasant memory, Of the ones we're leaving, for there isn't one Who's glad to go in the class of forty-one.
